Lin Mobai's eyes almost popped out of his head when he was shocked by the brilliant golden light that filled the room.
He looked around and found that in addition to the gold and silver jewelry that filled the warehouse, there were unexpectedly gold and silver powder on the ground.
He squatted down and observed carefully, a little puzzled, "No matter how extravagant it is, gold and silver powder should
not be everywhere." If someone comes in and out, gold and silver powder will be all over the Prime Minister's Mansion. Got it?
He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. After taking a small piece of silver ingot from each box, Lin Mobai was ready to leave.
Who knows -
"Who is in the warehouse?!"
A sharp voice suddenly came from outside!
Lin Mobai's expression changed, and he didn't care too much, jumped out of the window and left.
When the Prime Minister heard the sound and hurried over in his outer robe, he only saw the broken window. He immediately became angry and said, "Trash! A bunch of trash! Someone actually broke into my Prime Minister's house!"
and even entered his inside. Library? !
He immediately ordered that all those on duty tonight be beaten to death.
He immediately fell to his knees and begged for mercy.
"Why is the Prime Minister so angry?"
In the darkness, a tall figure slowly walked out, and the moonlight fell on his face. His face was unparalleled and unbelievably handsome. His white clothes were fluttering, and he looked like an immortal descended from the earth.
"Third Prince." When he saw the person coming, the Prime Minister suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed his hands to greet him, but there was lingering anger in his eyebrows. "These unscrupulous slaves are really useless. Fortunately, they broke into my private treasury." , If the thief knows that you are in my house... I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous."
Song Chu said calmly, "Prime Minister, there is no need to worry about what has not happened. It is useless to kill these people. It is better to let them make up for their mistakes. Find out who broke into the prime minister's house at night."
He looked at the gold and silver powder on the ground and curled his lips.
If someone comes, they can't run away.
"The Third Prince has a heart of a Bodhisattva!" The Prime Minister understood what he meant and shouted to the guards on the ground: "Did you hear that? Why don't you thank the Third Prince for your grace! If no trace of the thief is found tonight, I will let you and your family follow. You will be buried together!"
In the Lin family study, everyone gathered after Lin Mobai returned.
Lin Zhiyu was the first to say: "My third brother and I reorganized the official account books, and found that the official account books had been in a mess since three years ago. The previous account books were clear, and every entry and exit was recorded. It's on the books, but now..."
Lin Ruqian took over the conversation.
"The problem now is that he can't keep up with the account books!"
"The outgoing and incoming accounts can't even be reconciled! According to my experience, the official department probably has a secret book, and that one is the real account book for the past three years! "
He has quite a lot of experience in this area, and his analysis is naturally very clear and logical.
Lin Qiming was thoughtful.
"Three years ago..."
He always felt that this time point was very delicate.
Three years ago, the third prince's biological mother, Roubi, passed away.
It was exactly three years ago that the Shen family occupied the position of Prime Minister.
"Dad, big brother, I've also gained something." Lin Mobai took out a few silver ingots from the Prime Minister's Mansion from his arms and unfolded them one by one in front of several people.
He pointed to one of them and said, "This one is stamped with the official seal of Jiangzhou."
"This one is stamped with the official seal of Quzhou." "And this one..."
Counting it carefully, there are official seals from more than ten places!
Lin Qiming's expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder these places always suffer from natural disasters and man-made disasters!"
These places have suffered from successive disasters in recent years, and the court has continued to allocate funds. Unexpectedly, they all ended up in the Prime Minister's private warehouse, and the people below There were complaints, but he pretended to be incorruptible! The people in several places were not even able to eat brown rice or wear good clothes.
Lin Mobai nodded, "It seems that the Prime Minister's acceptance of bribery is a certainty."
Lin Ruqian sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, Bao'er reminded him that if this were not the case, he would have thought that the prime minister was a rare and honest official who was considerate of the people as rumored!
Tsk tsk.
It's great to have a little baby at home!
"But there's one thing I don't understand." Lin Mobai frowned, "I saw gold and silver powder all over the place in the warehouse of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Is this too extravagant? I'm a little confused."
Lin Zhiyu said "The gold and silver powder you see is probably the prime minister's attempt to erase the official seal at the bottom of the gold and silver so that the official silver can be privatized. The name of the flower is justified."
Lin Qiming glanced at Lin Zhiyu with approval and asked: "Then why didn't you sweep up the gold and silver powder and leave it on the ground on purpose?"
He just mentioned it a little, and Lin Zhiyu's expression changed drastically. He pushed Lin Mobai down and raised his feet to look.
"Brother? What are you doing!" Lin Mobai was confused and watched helplessly as Lin Zhiyu took off his boots indiscriminately. He was so frightened that he screamed, "Brother! What are you doing? Special hobby!"
The next moment, Lin Zhiyu blew out the candle.
A faint light appeared in the study.
"Fluorescent powder?!" Several people shouted in unison.
Lin Zhiyu lit the candle again, dragged Lin Mobai and left, "Let's go."
He had to erase all traces of Lin Mobai's journey!
Lin Mobai was dragged and staggered, "Brother! I haven't put on my shoes yet..."
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Lin Qiming looked approvingly and nodded secretly.
The eldest brother has the most calm temperament. As long as his nature is not crooked and he can serve the people wholeheartedly, although the second brother is reckless, he has outstanding martial arts skills. The two brothers complement each other and will be successful in the future.
"What needs to be investigated now is where such a large amount of gold and silver came from!" Lin Qiming looked at Lin Ruqian, the only one in the study who had not figured out the situation. "Third brother, do you have any opinion on this matter?"
Lin Ruqian said. He yawned with a sleepy face. He had never been interested in official affairs. It sounded like it went in the left ear and out the right ear. He couldn't analyze the reason. With this time, he would rather look at the account books more!
"Dad, I'm young...you'd better not think about me." Lin Ruqian said as he quietly prepared to slip out. From the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Xuelan walking towards the study with Lin Baoer in his arms. He opened the door as soon as he could. , exclaimed, "Mom! Bao'er! You are here!"
He ran happily.
Lin Qiming was behind him, his face as black as coal.
Such a monkey!
"You little monkey, have you made your father unhappy again?" Shen Xuelan saw him clearly.
"Dad always wants me to learn about officialdom. I'm really not interested. It's not like a man must be able to write, write or dance, wield a knife or a gun. I think I'm pretty good like this. I can make a living by looking through the account books, which is enough for our family. It's good to earn some money by eating and drinking!" Lin Ruqian said without shame, "Anyway, if the sky falls, there are still two brothers to bear it."
He is the third eldest child in the family, Lin Ruyu is calm, and Lin Mobai can break ten yuan with one punch. Wooden board, he was used to being protected by his two brothers, so he didn't have to worry about it.
Lin Qiming slapped him on the butt.
